> The retainer ring does not screw off. It is held in place by several small tabs, evenly spaced around the ring, that clip over the fixture, which means that the retainer ring must be carefully pried off the fixture. As several responders noted, the ring is subject to breaking when prying it off the fixture, so take it really easy and apply as little force as possible. The tabs are small, and the ring should pop right off once you have freed a couple of the tabs. The ring simply snaps back onto the fixture when you are done.

I've contacted BoatUS, provided the needed info and just received confirmation from them that our group discount is now reinstated with a new expiration of December 31, 2020.? Keeping this activated will be part of the Secretary/Treasurer duties going forward.? In the past, I've called membership services after an auto-renew, given them the discount code and received a refund of the dues difference.
